Abstract: FTIR and ESR have been used to study the influence of the xylene/hexanol ratio on the cation-anion and cation-cation interactions in sulfonated EPDMionomers.FTIRresults show that the interaction between the solvated metallic ions and SO3- is in the order Li<Na<K,while for the ions without solvation the order is the reverse (Li>Na>K).The ESRspectra of SEPDM-Mn ionomers indicate that both isolated Mn2+ and Mn2+ cluster exist in the solution.The Mn2+ cluster is favored in less hexanol cosolvent and at high temperature,which is believed to be the reason for the viscosity increase of the ionomer solution with increasing temperature.
